In ancient Japan, rice with soup was a standard meal for Japanese nobles, and grilled fish was also served with the meal.
—How silly of you, Sister Ling.
Zhengji couldn't help but shake his head inwardly; the family's remaining food supplies were clearly running low...
"Oh, um... we've already eaten."
Lu Ye politely declined Ling Jie's offer of millet porridge.
He could tell that these villagers were not living a good life.
Most importantly, around the time he finished showering, he and Violet ordered a lot of takeout.
So neither of them was hungry yet.
Zhengji's favorability towards Lu Ye increased slightly.
He thought to himself that this person was actually quite sensible; even with a place to stay, he wouldn't take advantage of him.
You see, if Lu Ye and Violet eat one more bite, they will have one less bite to eat.
After Zhengji left, Sister Ling put down her bowl and laid out a straw mat on the other side of the room.
"Okay, then let's rest."
Lu Ye and Violet exchanged a glance.
This looks like where they'll be resting tonight.
For these villagers, these straw mats are their beds.
Not only Lu Ye, but even Sister Ling herself slept with this kind of stuff.
After talking with Sister Ling for a while, Lu Ye learned the general information about this world.
This is a country located on the other side of the vast snow-capped peaks, and its name is "Ashina Country".
This country is ruled by the Ashina clan. It is said that decades ago, a man named Isshin Ashina led the Ashina people in a "war to steal the country." The war was very successful, and the country finally prospered through the hard work of a generation.
However, the tide of history cannot be stopped.
The Warring States period.
This is an era where you can acquire everything through power.
The victor becomes king, while the loser becomes nothing more than fish to be slaughtered.
As time passed, Ashina was declining, while the Interior Ministry had already subdued the southern countries.
In order to unify Japan, Ashina was targeted by the Interior Ministry.
Over the past two years, battles of all sizes have taken place on this country's soil.
The Imperial Army had an absolute advantage in both numbers and equipment.
Ashina is suffering repeated defeats and is facing the risk of being destroyed.
Lu Ye had a general idea of what this world was like.
Simply put, this is a world where samurai fight and kill each other.
There was neither any advanced power armor nor any unusual situation.
But speaking of which—fighting and killing?
Should we use a knife?
Thinking of this, Lu Ye touched his giant python.
This giant python refers to the Cortel Python revolver.
"My lord, times have changed."
However, Lu Ye did not intend to use up the bullets in the magazine easily.
Because their type is .44 Magnum.
These bullets are very powerful, and there are only six of them.
You should know that there's no shortage of bullets in the permanent store.
100 points are enough to buy 24 rounds of general-purpose bullets, which is pretty good.
Although the technology tree in this world hasn't gone astray.
But Lu Ye had a bad feeling.
After all, this plane has been affected by the Protoss fragments, so there might be some monsters there.
But Sister Ling's words shattered Lu Ye's guess.
There are no monsters.
If I had to name a few, there are some legends about it.
For example, there is a legend that there is a white snake at the bottom of the valley in Ashina, and people even built the White Snake Shrine because of this.
Lu Ye thought that made sense.
After all, how could a giant snake that's a hundred meters long actually exist? It's not some ancient novel.
But it sounds so damn familiar...
While feeding the young child porridge, Sister Ling remembered something and said, "By the way, if you are traveling tomorrow, remember to be careful. If you hear monkeys calling, leave that place immediately."
"why?"
“Because something strange has happened recently,” Sister Ling said worriedly, “there are a lot more monkeys in the mountains around here for some reason.”
"Ape?"
“That’s right. People from the mountains said that those monkeys will attack anyone they see.”
“That’s a bit strange,” Lu Ye said. “Monkeys don’t usually attack humans on their own initiative.”
Monkeys are relatively intelligent creatures and usually don't provoke animals that are larger than themselves.
"I don't know, but they don't kill people. They just injure people and then smell them."
Smell it? Lu Ye was taken aback.
Chapter 104 Strange Monkey
Although she was curious about it, Sister Ling didn't know the details.
Just then, the sound of a child crying rang out.
He yelled and tried to snatch the now-empty bowl.
Sister Ling did not indulge him.
"Listen to me, save these for tomorrow..."
The little guy definitely didn't look full.
Lu Ye touched his pocket.
He had ordered a lot of snacks in his takeout order, and he took some chocolate with him before he left.
The children loved it and immediately quieted down.
He had no idea that the food he ate wouldn't be produced for a very, very long time.
At this moment, Violet stared at the child and asked Sister Ling a question.
How can I get a child?
Sister Ling blinked, looking at the blonde girl from another country.
"child?"
"Yes, Violet wants children!"
The girl made a surprising statement.
Lu Ye wouldn't mind having Violet give birth to an enhanced company for him.
But, have you heard of the Law on the Protection of Minors?
"...Well, I'm not too sure either," Sister Ling said with a laugh.
"Why? Don't you have children?" Violet asked curiously.
“He’s my younger brother. Our father, as well as Zhengji’s father, were all conscripted to the battlefield…”
Upon hearing this, Violet fell silent.
She had been to the battlefield and knew it was a bad thing.
After chatting for a while, it got late, so Sister Ling put out the fire, and the room went dark.
After an unknown amount of time, the dark silence was broken.
"Violet, are you still awake?"
"Ah."
"I want to ask you for a favor."
"what?"
"Start practicing with me tomorrow."
"practise?"
"Hmm, I've thought about it. I can't rely solely on a pistol, otherwise I'll be done for if someone gets close."
"Violet will protect you."
"I know, but I also want to protect you."
"Protect me?"
In the darkness, Violet gently clutched her chest, as if something soft had been touched.
"Well... I just don't want to hold you back," Lu Ye said somewhat embarrassedly. "Otherwise, if we encounter danger, you'll have to take time off to protect me."
